Also fairly absurd to state we need federal subsidies to help people who make at least $50k a year
Definitely not absurd in CA or other expensive states. What's absurd is how insurance companies inflate our costs. Our RX prices are a crime as well.

If Ryan can guarantee that the House won't pass it then the Senat will pass it.
Collins and Murkowski will almost certainly say no again, so I'm guessing it will again pass 50/50 with a Pence tiebreaker.
Caputo could go no at this point. McCain will say no unless he gets something from Ryan.

He won't do this though.
Hey they released the bill. At 9:53 on the night they are voting on it. Seems normal.
Vote in 2 hours. At midnight. On a bill that was written by a handful of people.
Holy schnikes, Joe Manchin talking now.
I think they vote on sending it to committee first instead of the amendment (skinny repeal).
They are voting to pass the bill. It then goes to the House and it's up to the House to decide if they go to committee. And then the House (and the fucking Freedom Caucus) have all the leverage. They can make demands and if the Senate says no, they just pass the bill and send it to Trump, who will sign it immediately.
